Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba – Unique Japanese Dry Noodle Bowls near Lougheed, Coquitlam

New restaurants continued to open up in the Burquitlam area, including one I was really excited about. Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba, an international chain originated from Japan. You may have been to their other location downtown on Seymour Street. I did, and every time I walked away with a belly full of carbs and I didn't regret it one bit. Opening their second location in Burquitlam means it's much closer to home and more accessible to me. Even though dine-in service was not available, I had to order take-out from them to support.

Afuri ramen + dumpling Arrives in Vancouver

The wait is over. One of the highly anticipated restaurants to open in Vancouver - Afuri ramen + dumpling - has officially opened its doors. Last year we went to Portland and checked out the ramen + izakaya and I was quite excited about the arrival of ramen + dumpling here in Vancouver. I was invited to its media night and previewed some of its menu items.

Ramen Koika – K-Pocha Menu at Robson location

Soonsal Chicken

We've been to Ramen Koika a few times over the years, to both locations on Davie and Robson. We always ended up ordering a ramen. The black garlic one was my favourite and Mr. fell in love with the beef ribs one. Little did we know the Robson location actually has a K-Pocha Menu, serving up their version of many Korean favourites. We were invited to sample a few items off that menu.

Fufu Cafe – Japanese Souffle Pancakes Now in Vancouver

Souffle Pancakes, Fufu Cafe Vancouver

A new Japanese souffle pancake shop is coming to town! Fufu is short for Fuwa Fuwa in Japanese, and it means fluffy. That's the very heart of these souffle pancakes.

Owners of Fufu were inspired by their visit to Japan a couple of years ago, seeing how popular these souffle pancakes were, and wanted to bring these deliciousness to Vancouver. They spent months on perfecting the menu and recipes and now they are opening the doors at Broadway and Birch.
